Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 28/28] ASoC: codecs: rt5640: Retry DEVICE_ID verification
Date: Sun, 3 Aug 2025 20:42:27 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250804004227.3630243-28-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250804004227.3630243-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Xinxin Wan <xinxin.wan@intel.com>
[ Upstream commit 19f971057b2d7b99c80530ec1052b45de236a8da ]
To be more resilient to codec-detection failures when the hardware
powers on slowly, add retry mechanism to the device verification check.
Similar pattern is found throughout a number of Realtek codecs. Our
tests show that 60ms delay is sufficient to address readiness issues on
rt5640 chip.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
**Backport Status: YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my
detailed analysis:
## Analysis of the Commit
### 1. Bug Fix Nature
This commit fixes a real-world hardware detection issue where the RT5640
codec device ID verification fails on systems where the hardware powers
on slowly. The failure results in the driver returning `-ENODEV` and the
audio codec not being initialized, causing complete audio failure.
### 2. Small and Contained Change
The fix is minimal and highly contained:
- Only adds 3 lines of code
- The change is isolated to the probe function's device ID verification
logic
- No architectural changes or new features introduced
- The retry logic is simple: if initial ID read doesn't match, wait
60-100ms and retry once
### 3. Clear Purpose with No Major Side Effects
The code change:
```c
regmap_read(rt5640->regmap, RT5640_VENDOR_ID2, &val);
+if (val != RT5640_DEVICE_ID) {
+ usleep_range(60000, 100000);
+ regmap_read(rt5640->regmap, RT5640_VENDOR_ID2, &val);
+}
```
- Only adds a single retry with delay if the first read fails
- The delay (60-100ms) is reasonable for probe-time initialization
- No impact on normal operation when hardware is ready
### 4. Follows Established Pattern
The commit message mentions "Similar pattern is found throughout a
number of Realtek codecs," and the probe function already contains a
400ms delay after enabling LDO1 (line 3004), showing that power-on
delays are expected for this hardware.
### 5. Minimal Risk of Regression
- The retry only occurs when device ID verification would have failed
anyway
- In the worst case, it adds a 60-100ms delay to failed probe attempts
- Systems where the codec is ready immediately continue to work without
delay
- The pattern is conservative: only one retry attempt
### 6. Important User Impact
Without this fix, affected systems experience:
- Complete audio failure on boot
- No audio codec detection
- Requires manual intervention or multiple reboots to get audio working
### 7. Stable Tree Suitability
This fix meets all stable kernel criteria:
- Fixes a real bug affecting users
- Minimal change with clear purpose
- No new features or APIs
- Low risk of introducing new issues
- Self-contained within a single driver
The commit represents a classic hardware quirk fix that improves
reliability without adding complexity, making it an ideal candidate for
stable backport.
